One of 105 copies. 20 x 15 inches. Perfect condition, in original folding linen case. The prints measure between 10 x 7-3/4 inches to 8 1/2 x 10 1/2 inches and are dry-mounted on Strathmore Illustration Board. A letterpress folio, with Porter's comments, a list of the prints, and a colophon, was printed by Lawton Kennedy (as usual, two copies are present). Porter's original photographs were made on 4 x 5 inch Daylight Ektachrome film. Doubly-masked separation negatives, made from these by contact printing, were enlarged onto Matrix film for printing by the dye-transfer process. "As its name implies, the dye transfer process literally involves transferring dyes (cyan, magenta, and yellow) in succession and in careful registration onto a sheet of gelatin-coated paper. Porter remained committed to the dye-transfer process, both before and after the invention of simpler and more commonly used color papers, because it delivered richly colored prints and allowed him to control the exact hues and contrast of each final print." From the Eliot Porter Collection Guide, published on the Amon Carter Museum web site.
